I know what happened to her...
I know what happened to them...
You won't get away with this,
I know the truth.

though they tear me down to pieces
though they tie me onto the stake
they throw the wood upon the pyre
and light that match that's in their hand

I will stand
I will stand
I will stand my ground
here
I will stand
I will stand my ground
I will stand and fight
here

though the world will try to drag me down
they throw their victims in the flames
they try to silence all the truth
and kill us all under their false--
laws

I will fight
I will fight
I won't give in
I will fight

You won't tear me down
I will stand my ground
You won't win the fight
I know I am right

I will stand
I will stand
I will stand my ground here
I will stand
we will stand will stand and fight
we will stand our ground
you won't ever win

(and the world cries silently… and turns)

we know we are right
we know we must fight
we won't end with this
you won't ever win

we will stand our ground
we will speak out loud

we will fight
we will fight
we won't give in
we will fight
we will stand
we will stand our ground
we will stand
Here
